Chapter 172: Old Man Scavenging

In the twilight, the cold wind whined over Jiangxia City, and the old man who was scavenging for a day was still struggling to move forward.

When passing by a house, looking at the palatial mansion and the smell of meat coming from inside, my legs finally couldn't support it, and I trembled and leaned against a wall and collapsed.

But before he could take a breath, he heard an angry rebuke reach his ears: "Go, go, where is the stinky flower child, get away quickly, don't defile the lintel of the house." ”

The old man was driven by the sticks, and was about to pray, but when he saw a golden carriage speeding towards him, he had no time to avoid it, and fell down in a panic.

"Where did you come from?"

The horse grabbed the reins of the horse and whipped the old man fiercely: "Don't get out of here." ”

Then, his face changed, and he groveled to the carriage and apologized: "Third master, you are frightened. ”

Zhuo Sanye drunkenly lifted the curtain and looked outside, seeing that it was an old man in rags, he spit out angrily, and scolded and said: "It's really unlucky, even a dog dares to come out and be presumptuous today." ”

The little guys who came out to greet him heard the master's complaints, and stepped forward to punch and kick the injured old man.

"That's it, that's it."

Seeing that the old man kept moaning, Zhuo Sanye didn't even shout a word to beg for mercy, he was really upset, and waved his hand and said, "I'm happy today, I don't want to see bloody and dirty things, so I'll be farther away." ”

Then, he slowly got out of the carriage, handed over the painting in his hand to the little maid, and swaggered into the mansion.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I noticed that something was wrong, and the doors of each house were closed, and only the housekeeper stood under the eaves, looking uneasy.

"Third master, Governor Luo is here."

The housekeeper waited for a long time, and finally saw the third master returning home, and hurriedly stepped forward and replied cautiously.

As soon as he heard that it was the Metropolitan Governor, Zhuo Sanye's whole body was shocked, and he was busy speeding up his pace, and strode back to the study.

Seeing Luo Chuhuai sitting on the top of the study and drinking tea slowly, he hurriedly stepped forward with a smile and bowed his hand, and called very affectionately: "When did my brother-in-law come to the provincial capital, and he didn't even inform my younger brother?" ”

It's good that he doesn't call this brother-in-law, but when he heard this call, Luo Chuhuai couldn't help but think of the county lord's wife, and suddenly became angry, and couldn't help but get up and slapped him in the face, and said angrily: "Zhuo Sanye is so majestic, how dare I, a rough person, kiss you?" ”

"What do you mean by that, brother-in-law?"

Zhuo Sanye was incited by this slap, and his whole face was confused.

"You're still asking me about the good things you've done yourself?"

Luo Chuhuai said angrily: "No matter how bad His Royal Highness King Ning is, it is also His Majesty's flesh and blood, you dare to compete with him for things, do you really think that this Wuchang Mansion is your Zhuo family's territory?" ”

"It's just a painting, why should my brother-in-law be angry."

Zhuo Sanye was full of grievances: "Besides, I also intend to give in, His Royal Highness King Ning himself does not appreciate it, he knows that King Fu is my cousin and is still so aggressive, I can't sweep my cousin's face." ”

"Spend 100,000 gold to fight for a painting, and you dare to mention His Royal Highness the King of Fu, do you think that your Highness will not cause enough trouble?"

Luo Chuhuai was even more angry: "Now that King Yun's power is in full swing, he can't find a handle to kill King Fu, you dare to threaten to buy a painting to give it to His Royal Highness King Fu, what are you putting in your head?" ”

"It's just a painting, what kind of mess can it make."

Third Master Zhuo didn't care: "His Royal Highness King Yun also asks people to collect rare treasures every year, and I don't see His Majesty blaming him, how can he be born to his cousin, he can't tolerate it." ”

"Is it just a painting?"

Luo Chuhuai asked rhetorically: "Do you have to tell you all the good things that your Zhuo family has done over the years?" Now that the evil done by the rebel son in the second room of your house has made a lot of noise, do you really think that Shi Junmu's bad idea can deceive the world? ”

After a pause, he continued: "Besides, Concubine Lu Guifei is also an old man in the palace, and even His Majesty has a lot of respect for her, and King Fu, who is a brother, refuses to give up even a painting to King Ning, how dare she expect King Fu to be able to shelter their mother and son in the future?" ”

It was also a word to wake up the person in the dream, Zhuo Sanye realized that he had done something foolish today, his face changed instantly, and he hurriedly apologized: "It's all the little brother who is reckless, and I ask my brother-in-law to show me, what should I do next?" ”

As he spoke, he cautiously asked, "Or, I will immediately send someone to send this painting to the post house to apologize to His Royal Highness King Ning?" ”

Luo Chuhuai pondered for a moment, slowly shook his head and said: "Since the matter has happened, then lowering your eyebrows and bending your waist to please King Ning's mother and son will only show that King Fu is afraid, and in a few days it will be Your Majesty's 60th birthday, and you sent someone to send this painting to King Fu in Beijing overnight, and said that it was a congratulatory gift prepared for Your Majesty." ”

"Brother-in-law's move is really clever."

Zhuo Sanye complimented him sincerely: "In this way, even if Your Majesty is unhappy, after all, it is a masterpiece of the evil god of swords and pens, and it is a congratulatory gift that my cousin has bothered to prepare, and he will definitely be happy." ”

"It's just a stopgap measure."

Luo Chuhuai's anger was almost gone, but thinking that his daughter had come to the provincial capital, it was for the sake of the Zhuo family's affairs that he asked worriedly: "Have you wiped your buttocks clean in the second room?" ”

"Brother-in-law, don't worry, Fan'er's child has been killed by that little slut, even if they want to check, they can't do it, so they won't let Fan'er come back to life, so I can't ask for it."

Zhuo Sanye smiled proudly: "If you want to say that Shi Gongzi is indeed smart, he can come up with such a flawless method, this time the little slut of the Mu family must have to fight for Fan'er." ”

"Shi Junmu is a fart."

Thinking of his daughter's reputation in Jiangling City, Luo Chuhuai recognized it from the bottom of his heart, and felt that she was a well-deserved first lawyer.

It's this stinky girl who has now pointed the finger at herself, a father, so that he can't be happy.

He was really worried that this girl would suddenly come to kill her relatives one day.

"Recently, you have given me some restraint, and also told the people in the house to divide it in peace, if I hear something about the Zhuo family again, without waiting for King Fu to speak, I will destroy you first."

Luo Chuhuai warned worriedly.

Seeing that the night was not early, he got up, thought of something, and did not forget to advise: "The stake on the outskirts of the north of the city is not allowed to be approached without my permission." ”

"Brother-in-law, is this looking for a good match again?"

Zhuo Sanye covered his mouth with a wicked smile, knowing that he had just been to Jiangling City, and he was afraid that he had provoked a rotten peach blossom to hide in his Zhuangzi.

Luo Chuhuai's old eyes glared: "If you want to live longer, don't ask what you shouldn't ask." ”

With that, he brushed his sleeves and walked away.
